    Your willing support for non-economic prattle isn't interesting. Up your game dear chap!

    at least I put my money where my mouth is.....because of what I know I invested as I see fit and profited handsomely? Can you say as much?

    I invest in SME. Its the vibrancy of the market. You find support in prattle, perhaps you need to re-consider your position!

    Try to read. I invest, by definition, in SME. Your 'investment' is but the actions of the leach. Whether you make money isn't pertinent, that you don't understand the benchmark for market growth is- nonetheless- obvious

    Man...and I sincerely mean no offense...but there is EASILY no one on this site that talks more but says less then you (imo).

    You just yak, yak, yak and yak. Put people down. Yak some more. And make all kinds of statements that you NEVER back up.

    At least posters like 17thAndK and Iriemon often post/quote facts to back up their claims.
    I even respect Iriemon (17thAndK is just walking bitterness).

    But you...you are just full of hot air, endless theories and a good thesaurus.

    17,000+ posts and all you can do is talk aimlessly and put people down.

    17,000 times?!?

    You must be one empty guy.


    I sincerely hope you have a nice day...sounds like you need it.

    You mentioned economics! I salute you.

    I simply refer to economics and you don't understand it. Sort it out. I know you're crippled by right wing thought, but fight through it. Try and actually make a comment based on sound economic comment.

    Why don't you try making a comment backed up by ANY statistics/facts from an unbiased source.

    17,000+ posts you have made...have you EVER backed up ANYTHING you have EVER posted with unbiased facts/stats?

    EVER?


    All you are about (imo) is bullying, pompous phrasings/ramblings and nonsensical theories that few (if any) have ever used unbiased facts to prove.


    You are the worst kind of 'economist' wannabe.

    You are ALL theory.

    Any ignoramus can post theory...because he/she never has to prove it.



    Have a nice day.

    I will always refer to peer reviewed published analysis, with econometric methodologies capable of successfully testing hypothesis. I do not expect you to do the same as, to understand those methodologies, you first have to understand the economic theory involved and how its used to avoid 'data mining' bias

    Peer reviewed? LOL.

    Another way of saying 'I read stuff from people who believe the same thing I do about economics' - in other words, people that believe in theories and rarely/never use unbiased facts/statistics to prove ANY of them.

    So please show me these peers' SPECIFIC unbiased facts/statistics that they use to back up their conclusions to specific point(s) you have made?


    And make it an accessible site this time.

    The one and only time you gave me a link - it was to a site that required me to pay about $20 bucks just to access it.


    Have a nice day.

    Probably shouldn't start celebrating Obama's re-election because initial unemp claims plunged a mere 27K last month. Sure doesn't look good for Barack in the swing states. No wonder he's out there promising to bailout underwater homeowners in Nevada! With 13.4% unemp in Sept, wonder how he thinks they'll pay those govt-backed loans? :omg:

    He still has one huge ace up his sleeve - Ben Bernanke.

    After re-appointing him as Fed Chairman - he will owe Obama a favor.

    And I am guessing that favor will be to hold off on QE3 until it will have the most positive effect possible, right before November 2012.

    The question is - even if that is how it plays out, will the voters buy it enough to re-elect Obama?

    I honestly do not know.

    And btw - my major problem with your posts (even though I do NOT agree with endless theories without unbiased proof) is the pathetically negative and bullying way you treat others (and I am NOT referring to me).

    Without any cause you will insult and belittle others for no reason other then they dare to disagree with you.

    And then, you don't even have the guts to open your pm's to deal with these people one-on-one.


    Why do you have to treat others so badly without provocation (and not agreeing with their opinion is NOT provocation)?

    Yep. Its paramount that quality control is maintained. Anuybody with just a snippet of literature review skill will know that. Crikey, even you- armed with Excel- coulld come out with a regression. We'd know, however, that you wouldn't be able to construct a relevant empirical specification. A knowledge of economic theory is required for that. No need to 'get your knickers in a twist' thoughh, you still have time to teach yourself some basics. I look forward to seeing some progression in your attempts at economic comment
